Poor Mr. Lindbergh
A recent article in Look magazine
lambasted Charles Lindbergh enough
to at least make his ears burn. Doro-
tli. Thompson, wife of author, Sinclair
Lewis, went after him tooth and nail,
branding bim a pro-Nazi and everything that goes vvitn it- There must
be a right and wrong to this thing—
and our air-hero of 1927 thinks he has
the proper solution but it is very evident that it is not healthy to believe
in him-
* * * *
Mr. Lindbergh has ceased to be an
American hero and he can't understand why.
* * * *
If you don't think advertising pays,
just remember that there are twenty
other mountains in Colorado higher
than Pike's Peak—can you name
them?
* * * *
One Happy German
We met an interesting personality
the other day. One, Franz Gulil, a
native of Hamburg, Germany, who has
spent only three years in our America
and is very proud of the fact that he
is now an American citizen and is privileged to live in this great country
without fear of having to return to
his Fatherland- He 'left Germany in
the summer of 193S when things were
happening fast and furious. Rumors
ot war were rife every clay. He learned after leaving, that had he remained
two months longer he would still be
there.
* * * *
One of the easiest things to understand and the hardest to learn, is that
the time to save money is when you've
got some. Yup, yup, yup.
* * * *
Jobs For Everyone
A loca' man stopped at the -office the
other day aud during the conversation,
stated that he had sufficient gainful
employment for every WPA worker in
Cass county.
* * * *
The taxpayer is beginning to fear
that it will cost more to prime the cannon than it did to prime the pump.
* * * *
The Weather
This paragraph is written for the
more fortunate people who travel to
the southland to bask in the sun—ami
rain during the winter Many of them
have requested that we. make mention
of weather conditions here.
* * =3 *
The past week has been unusually
mild for this time ot the year. The
first three days of the week made a
lot of folks think "Indian Summerr"
really had arrived. The mercury rose
well in the sixties Wednesday and the-
sun blared forth in all its autumnal
glory. To date, we have missed all
the snow storms and everyone is
happy.

Hatred is like a boomerang. No matter in what direction you fling it, back
ii comes and you're the target-—AICA

Richard Fraser Writes
from China
A letter arrived Monday via China
Clipper from Richard Fraser, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Hoiner Fraser.
Richard is now on gunboat patrol
duty with the Asiatic Fleet on a river
somewhere in China. He states that
he likes his work a great deal and
that the weather is getting hotter all
the time, although he is not especially
enthused over the Chinese mode of
living. Chinese abodes are mostly of
grass and none too sanitary.
Richard joined tlie U. S. Navy in
February of this year and spent until August at the Great Lakes Training Station. He was then assigned
to duty on the U. S- S. Ashville- This
is the first letter Mr. and Mrs. Fraser
have received since August 12, and

Warden Takes
Up Duties Here
Warden Wm. Henry of Little Falls,
arrived here Wednesday to take up
his duties as resident warden, succeed
ing the late Harry Knowles.
Mr. Henry has been stationed at
Little Falls the past nine months and
prior to that time worked as a traveling warden- Mr. and Mrs- Henry plan
to purchase the Knowles residence
and move here as soon as possible. At
present, they are living at the hotel.
Mr. Henry stated that he has had
some beaver complaints where it has
been necessary to blast the dams-
Anyone having trouble of this nature
should report it to the warden at the
hotel.
Frances Fedden, attractive Bronxville, N. Y., artist's model, is the 1941 Red

membership appeal. Painted by Bradshaw Crandell, prominent New York illustrator, the poster carries a national defense theme, portraying the active part
being taken by the Red Cross in serving the armed forces.
CHRISTMAS TREE HARVEST
IS NOW IN FULL SWING
Approximately 450,000 Christmas
trees will be cut from state lands this
year. These trees are taken from
stagnant swamps where growth is extremely slow. The average age of
the trees cut is 85 years, and none has
reached a diameter of more than two
and one-half inches. They never
would reach size suitable for pulp-
wood.
Approximately 10 percent of the
black spruce trees growing in these
swamps are cut for the Christmas
trade, leaving 90 percent for ground
cover.
little or no outlay of cash. Most farms
have either a root cellar, a basement,
an unused attic or a large closet- Any
of those places can be used providing
the atmosphere is kept slightly damp
and the temperature just above freezing.
Records show that usually a half
acre garden, well planned, produces
sufficient storage vegetables to last an
average family hroagh the winter, ii
completely conserved through the use
of storage facilities, Mrs. Vuchetich
said- This materially reduces the
amount of vegetables which must be
purchased at the market and expands
the family menu at the same time.
Where no storage facilities exist on
the farm, construction of a root cellar
is urged. The size should be determined by the size of the family. Usually a 10x12 foot cellar with 4-foot
side walls is sufficient. The best location is in a side hill or on levei ground
where there is no danger of water filling it in the spring. Plans for root
cellars may be inspected at the FSA
office in Walker.
"Proper storage is especially import
ant this year, with fobd prices rising
and the nation demanding an ever increasing supply of food for use at
home and for shipment to the allied
nations at war," states Mrs. Marjorie
Vuchetich, home management supervisor for the FSA.
Beets, late cabbage, celery, onion,
parsnips, potatoes, salsify or oyster
plant, turnips and many other vegetables can be kept in good condition
throughout the winter by using the facilities that exist on the farm, with
Armistice Day
Program Draws
Full House Wed.
The Armistice Day program held at
the school auditorium Wednesday afternoon was sponsored by the Roy Lee
Auxiliary No. 2017 with the assistance of the Post and school.
Mr. E. W- Henderson, Jr. Vice Commander of VFW of Minnesota, from
Ogema, gave the principal address- He
talked on "Americanism" and urged
people to be on guard against anything
un-American. He also urged the purchase of defense bonds by everyone,
even school children. He also commented on the splendid results of the
essay contest sponsored by National
Auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars
and urged all students to read the
prize essay of last year written by a
Fergus Falls girl, published in "Veteran's News," .and urged students to
enter the contest this year.
Mr. John O'Keson of Detroit Lakes,
Jr. Vice Commander of Cooties of the
state of Minnesota, was a guest at tne
program and spoke oriefly. G- E. Henderson gave a short talk, substituting
•for Supt. Haack who was unable to be

Dairy Equipment
for Farmers will
be Available
Dairy equipment necessary to handle the S percent increase in Minnesota milk production in 1942, has been
promised farmers through an announcement by the the Office of Production Management that priorities
have been granted for the manufact-
ture of dairy equipment, Edward J.
Dorsey, chairman of the Cass County
U .S. D. A. Defense Board, announced
this week.
"This means that farmers will be
able to obtain milk cans, milk pails,
strainers, and other dairy equipment
they will need to handle their increased milk productions" Mr. Dorsey stated. "The need for additional equipment of this kind has caused some
concern but the situation has been
cleared by the program worked out
through cooperation of the Department of Agriculture and OPM."
In the case of milk cans, only
enough steel will be allocated to produce 985,000 cans necessary to handle
the additional eight billion pounds of
milk to be produced in the entire country, and an additional 3S5.000 cans
needed for normal replacements.
In the case of the rating for the tin
plate equipment, only enough steel
will be allocated to provide an increase
of 6-S percent in dairy pails, milk
strainers and setter or cream' cans, to
take care of the increase in milk production.
The 1942 milk production goal for
Cass county is 71,150,000 pounds, an
increase of 5,059,000 pounds over the
1941 production.

is urged. The size should be determined by the size of the family. Usually a 10x12 foot cellar with 4-foot
side walls is sufficient. The best location is in a side hill or on levei ground
where there is no danger of water filling it in the spring. Plans for root
cellars may be inspected at the FSA
office in Walker.
"Proper storage is especially import
ant this year, with fobd prices rising
and the nation demanding an ever increasing supply of food for use at
home and for shipment to the allied
nations at war," states Mrs. Marjorie
Vuchetich, home management supervisor for the FSA.
Beets, late cabbage, celery, onion,
parsnips, potatoes, salsify or oyster
plant, turnips and many other vegetables can be kept in good condition
throughout the winter by using the facilities that exist on the farm, with

Dairy Equipment
for Farmers will
be Available
Dairy equipment necessary to handle the S percent increase in Minnesota milk production in 1942, has been
promised farmers through an announcement by the the Office of Production Management that priorities
have been granted for the manufact-
ture of dairy equipment, Edward J.
Dorsey, chairman of the Cass County
U .S. D. A. Defense Board, announced
this week.
"This means that farmers will be
able to obtain milk cans, milk pails,
strainers, and other dairy equipment
they will need to handle their increased milk productions" Mr. Dorsey stated. "The need for additional equipment of this kind has caused some
concern but the situation has been
cleared by the program worked out
through cooperation of the Department of Agriculture and OPM."
In the case of milk cans, only
enough steel will be allocated to produce 985,000 cans necessary to handle
the additional eight billion pounds of
milk to be produced in the entire country, and an additional 3S5.000 cans
needed for normal replacements.
In the case of the rating for the tin
plate equipment, only enough steel
will be allocated to provide an increase
of 6-S percent in dairy pails, milk
strainers and setter or cream' cans, to
take care of the increase in milk production.
The 1942 milk production goal for
Cass county is 71,150,000 pounds, an
increase of 5,059,000 pounds over the
1941 production.
